About Master of Arts - Literature and Writing Studies

The California State University San Marcos Literature and Writing Studies (LTWR) Department offers graduate study leading to the Master of Arts degree. The mission of Master of Arts in Literature and Writing Studies is to prepare students for teaching at the community college level, for study at the doctoral level, and for occupations in the private and public sectors that require a high degree of literacy.

Rather than offering an emphasis in literature or writing studies at the master’s level, the program aims to balance and integrate these activities.

Because most of students are, or eventually will be, teachers, California State University San Marcos's intention is to provide a graduate teaching apprenticeship within the program that begins with classes, seminars, and close faculty mentoring and leads to internships, tutoring, and teaching assistantships.

Qualified students may work in the University Writing Center or teach general education writing courses. Internships may also be arranged at community colleges or other organizations.
